카타르, 월시 외교대학은 서측에 위치한 중앙도서관과 남서측에 위치한 학생관으로 배치된다. 남측에 위치한 역사적인 장소; 강렬한 비쥬얼을 가진 공원과의 밀착된 관계형성은 건축물의 축 및 랜드스케이프로 표현된다. 이러한 디자인 원칙은 진보된 휴먼스케일을 위한 기념비적인 구축으로 학생들의 안락한 거주환경을 제공한다.
원칙의 구현을 위해 빌딩은 몇개의 작은 부분으로 구성된다. 그리고 다시 빌딩의 모든 부분들은 외교학을 위한 공용공간으로 연결, 확장된다. 그중 조각같은 긴 보행로 '그린 스파인'은 즐거운 산책로로 연결된다. 중정과 아트리움은 빌딩 컴플렉스의 리렉스(휴식, 안식처) 공간 형성을 위해 삽입되며 이를 통해 건강한 교육환경으로 진화한다.

The building is adjacent to the Central Library to the west, and the Student Center to the southwest, which was also designed by Legorreta + Legorreta.

The design principle is to break the monumental construction to move towards a more human scale, achieving a more homelike atmosphere in which students feel comfortable.
The building is a composition of several small departments to give the idea being at home. All parts of the building are connected to the common areas, which are the foundation of the School of Foreign Service. The access is connected with the “Green Spine” to the south through a pleasant pedestrian area with sculptures along the way.
The courtyards and atrium spaces interspersed throughout the building complex create a relaxed atmosphere, thus promoting a sense of intimacy and offering reassurance to the hectic college life.
We placed special attention to the outdoor environment. Water features restore and ventilate the spaces around them. A cactus garden is located along the north facade and marks the transition between the desert and the formally designed areas, and the courtyards facilitate adjacent functions and become pleasant transition zones.
